Mama Said Trust in The LORD!
Lela received a sweet surprise for her 18th birthday. Her parents brought her a new car. Lela is one of those kids that every mother hopes to have. She is very intelligent. She attends a community, college. Lela is active in her church as a young leader. She is extremely mannerly. Her parents can trust her. She makes good choices. She is the best big sister to her little brother Leon (12) and sister Lilly (6). One day Lela is driving home from school, and she has a car accident. A man ran into the back of her car. She calls her mom. Lela is completely in a bit of shock. She is traumatized by the experience. Lela wasn't hurt at all. Not one scratch! Her mom calls her dad, and he rushes to the scene to be by Lela's side as they await the arrival of the police.
Lela: (crying) MOM! MOM! Where's dad? He should have been here by now! I don't really know what to do. The police are pulling up now.
Mom: Ok, Lela try to calm down baby. I've contacted your insurance and dad is coming. Hold on. You're going to be fine.
Lela: (very upset) I'm never driving that car again. He could've killed me!
Mom: Lela, listen to me. You're the apple of God's eye. You are the love of God. This too shall pass. Yes, you will drive again.
Lela: No mom. I am not getting back in that car. Dad is here.
Mom: Ok let me speak to dad.
Lela: Dad is talking to the cops and the guy that almost ended my life. Oh, here he comes.
(Lela's mom and dad have a brief conversation.)
Mom: Hey, how bad is her car? Can she drive it home?
Dad: It's not that bad. Yeah, she can drive it home. I'll take it to a body mechanic shop this weekend to see about getting it fixed. The lord was definitely watching over him and her. The man has to go to the hospital to get checked out because he has blood on his clothes. Lela is physically fine. Now mentally, that's another story. We have the police report and the man's insurance information.
Mom: Ok good. Thanks! Put Lela back on the phone. See you guys shortly.
Lela: Mom, dad is telling me I have to drive my car back home. Why can't I just hop in the car with dad?
Mom: Because our God hasn't given you the spirit of fear Lela, and you are NOT about to have it now. You are going to release that negative energy and drive that car back to the house. Dad said your car is drivable. It will get fixed. You are blessed Lela! I've trained you from a little girl to see and appreciate the light that surrounds you and protect you. It could have been worse. Lilly wants to say something to you.
Lilly: Lela, please remember that you are strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. You got this big sister! Love you!
Lela: (smiling) Aww Lilly, thanks for reminding me of my spiritual power and authority. You know that I love you too Lilly.
Mom: I want you to say the prayer I taught you. After you say it, you will be fine to drive your car home. Lilly and I will say it with you.
Lela: Ok, thank you mom.
(Mom, Lela & Lilly say the prayer together)
"YOU LORD ARE THE LIGHT THAT KEEPS ME SAFE.
I AM NOT AFRAID OF ANYONE. YOU PROTECT ME, AND I HAVE NO FEARS
.
I ASK ONLY ONE THING, LORD: LET ME LIVE IN YOUR HOUSE EVERY DAY
OF MY LIFE TO SEE HOW WONDERFUL YOU ARE AND TO PRAY IN YOUR
TEMPLE IN TIMES OF TROUBLE, YOU WILL PROTECT ME. YOU WILL HIDE
ME IN YOUR TENT AND KEEP ME SAFE ON TOP OF A MIGHTY ROCK.
I WIL TRUST THE LORD! I WILL BE BRAVE AND STRONG! AND TRUST THE LORD."
Lela: See you in a few minutes mom! I love you. Thank you!
Mom: (smiling) Ok Lela, I love you too. Come on home child!
Her mama gave her some brave and some strong, and she put it on! 😊
